“Clark had a great time with Eileen and her dogs! Eileen is fantastic to work with - she made us feel so comfortable leaving Clark for the first time, and sent us daily pictures/updates of how he was doing. Would highly recommend Eileen if you need someone to care for your dog as well as you do. Clark can’t wait to go back again!”
“Diana and her family took such amazing care of my Estelle! This was the first time in almost 2 years my dog had to stay overnight outside of our home and Diana made her feel so comfortable. Their house is a perfect set-up to care for dogs and with a full family and 2 dogs to play with my Estelle was more than happy with her time there.”

“1st time leaving my dog with complete strangers but when I tell you, it was the best decision we made.

We were nervous leaving Brixton with anyone because he’s epileptic and requires daily meds at specific times but they went above and beyond to understand his condition and ask questions. Their attention to detail and genuine care gave us so much peace of mind.”

Kevin took such good care of Claude! He was communicative and sent me lots of pictures, which I appreciated. Kevin’s sweet dog played with Claude and kept him company. Thanks a bunch!
My dog, George was so well cared for at Diana’s home. Along with her husband and son, he was so calm when I picked him up! Very grateful for such tender care! Thank you, Diana!
Grace and her family took exceptional care of our pup! We received many photos and updates throughout the week. We could tell our dog was in good hands from the moment we dropped her off. Will definitely book again!
Eileen goes above and beyond. My Charlie just finished a two week stay and he always goes to Eileen’s house because he loves it there.
We left our dog, Jessie, with Helen for a week while we’re were on vacation. Helen took excellent care of Jessie and was great about sharing updates, photos and videos. From the photos it looked like Jessie was having a great time quickly becoming another member of the family. I did not worry about Jessie at all. Helen is great and we highly recommend her.
Loren is always super attentive to my pups. She cares about them and sends me updates throughout the time away. They love her and that is the best thing ever. Loren is on my speed dial 🤣

Our boy was so loved and well taken care of. Arleth kept us updated and sent us cute pics of him having fun. Will most definitely rebook next time.
Cheryl is an amazing dog sitter. She sent pics every day and checked in with us while we were on vacation. I could tell when I picked up our dog that she had a good time and had enjoyed time with her and her family. Thank you Cheryl!
Anna was wonderful! She cared for my dog like it was her own! She also administered medicine to him and made him feel very loved. She was also extremely accommodating after my flight canceled and i was late. I would recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for an experienced dog sitter. Thank you Anna!
Lori, Guillermo and little Winny were the best hosts ever.Our little dog Rocky had a great time, playing and being pampered like their own family member. If I were a dog, I’d want to stay at this fabulous Canine B&B!
Paula and her family took such great care of Weston while he was with them for the week. We felt very comfortable that he's in the best hands and loves the daily updates a d pictures. Our guy is a senior and we felt Paula was so attentive and tuned into his needs.
Aspen came back tired and happy! She always enjoys her time with Stacy and Goofy!! I know she’s is well cared for, loved and having a great time!
I highly recommend Harmony! Our dog Yuzu had a wonderful time, she got along well with Harmony’s two dogs and had plenty of space to run and play. Harmony was very responsive and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future.
We couldn't be more thrilled with the care our dog, Remo, received from Yasmina! From the moment we met her, we knew Remo was in good hands. She went above and beyond to ensure he had a great time while we were away. Not only did she provide him with lots of love and attention, but she also kept him active and entertained with walks, playtime, and even introduced him to new toys and treats that kept him busy and happy. It's clear she really cares about animals and takes the time to make them feel special. Remo absolutely adored her, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Highly recommend – she truly made our trip stress-free!
